We’ve seen free hugs offered at\u00a0Sonora’s Farmer’s Market<\/a> (pictured) \u00a0and at Long Beach Farmer’s Market. When you speak with the\u00a0huggers\u00a0you learn that their motives are plain and simple–to help make the world a happier place.<\/p>\n

DAILY HUG PRESCRIPTION<\/strong> (Have you had your hugs today?)<\/p>\n

\n2. Ask permission when sharing a hug.
\n3. There is a difference between a friendly hug and a passionate embrace, hug accordingly.
\n4. A hug is a gentle embrace, not the Heimlich maneuver!
